LuLu gets busy grooming Miss Pickles for their first horse show together. She is intent on beating Melony Parker. Nobody much likes Melony, due to her boasting. Melony always wins, too, as she's the best rider and has the best pony. But LuLu knows that with Miss Pickles, she finally has a great chance to win. LuLu's dog, Flo, is not allowed to go to the shows, as Flo always hunts down Melony's poodle, MiMi, causing a fight. When no one is looking, Flo hides in the back of the car under a rug. After arriving at the show, Flo immediately runs off to find MiMi. When the dogs meet up, they run under the horses' legs. In the confusion, the horses become loose and get mixed up. It turns out that Melony also received a brand new pony that she named Primrose. Her pony is identical to Miss Pickles! Both ponies are white and wear the same pink headstall and lead. After being caught, and thinking they have the right ponies, the girls mount up for the event, but the ponies will not budge. Read how the dogs get together to solve the wrong pony situation.

HOKKANI BASO LELLIN DUDIKABIN, OR THE GREAT SECRET CHILDREN'S RHYMES AND INCANTATIONS TEN LITTLE INDIAN BOYS AND TEN LITTLE ACORN GIRLS OF MARCELLUS BURDI- GALENSIS. HERE is a meaningless rhyme very common among children. It is repeated while "counting off" --or "out" --those who are taking part in a game, and allotting to each a place. There are many versions of it, but the following is exactly word for word what I learned when a boy in Philadelphia: -- Ekkeri (or ickery), akkery, u-kcry an, Fillisi', follasy, Nicholas John, Queebee - quabee -- Irishman (or, Irish Mary), Stingle 'em--stangle 'em--buck! With a very little alteration This chapter is reproduced, but with much addition, from one in my work entitled "The Gypsies," published in Boston, 1881, by Houghton and Mifflin. London: Trubner Sc Co. The addition will be the most interesting portion to the folk-lorist. in sounds, and not more than children make of these verses in different places, this may be read as follows: -- Ek-keri (yekori) akairi, you kair an, Fillissin, follasy, Nakelas jan Kivi, kavi--Irishman, Stini, stani--buck! This is, of course, nonsense, but it is Romany or gypsy nonsense, and it may be thus translated very accurately: -- First--here--you begin! Castle, gloves. You don't play! Go on! Kivi--a kettle. How are you? Stdni, buck. The common version of the rhyme begins with-- "One--ery--two--ery, ickery an." But one-ery is an exact translation of ek-keri; ek, or yek, meaning one in gypsy. (Ek-orus, or yek-korus, means once). And it is remarkable that in-- "Hickory dickory dock, The rat ran up the clock, The clock struck one, And down he run, Hickory dickory dock." We have hickory, or ek-keri, again followed by a significant one. It may be observed that while my firs...
